In reply to the discussion: I still do not trust Rand Paul and his pseudo, new found moderate attitude. eom [View all]Jackpine Radical
(45,274 posts)27. I trust Rand Paul.
I trust scorpions to be scorpions.
I trust psychopaths to have no conscience.
I trust KKKarl Rove to be KKKarl Rove.
I trust Rand Paul to be Rand Paul.
In the meantime, if he says a couple of rational things about cops or drug enforcement or wars, I take heart in thinking that there is some self-serving interest that he perceives in doing so, and that interest reflects the opinions of some of the otherwise benighted people to whom he appeals.
I take heart because perhaps, on those few issues, it is possible to form a very limited and specific common-cause alliance and actually make some progress.
